We encourage all Be Heard participants to attend, even if they need to arrive a bit late or leave a bit early because of travel time (the sessions can accommodate this).

For over a decade, the CAIRR Neuroscience Laboratory in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at the SM�� has conducted a series of clinical research studies about the efficacy of acupressure for stress, cardiovascular function in stroke survivors, and mild traumatic brain injury in both civilian and veteran populations. Findings from this research suggest that acupressure has a regulating effect on certain autonomic nervous system functions, and enhances the efficiency of the brain’s cognitive functioning.
